We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2nd Round of Training Activities of the LAPET Project.

Trojan Economics, a proud partner of LAPET, strongly encourages professionals, academics, students, and all interested individuals to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their understanding of the interaction between economic and legal thinking.

Building on this success, the 2nd Round of LAPET Training is now delivered via the newly launched Digital LAPET Learning Portal. The Portal offers asynchronous training to enable flexible, self-paced learning, making the program accessible to a broader audience across Greece, Cyprus, and beyond.

  • High-quality content designed by leading experts in law and economics
  • Training modules in areas such as competition economics, state aid control, regulatory economics, corporate and financial law, and economic reasoning in litigation
  • Practical orientation: real-world case studies, analytical tools, and interdisciplinary insights

What is LAPET?

LAPET (Διασύνδεση Οικονομικής και Νομικής Επιστήμης στις Νομικές Υπηρεσίες / Linking Legal and Economic Thinking in Legal Services) is an innovative research, training, and outreach project funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.) and coordinated by the University of Piraeus.

Its primary goal is to strengthen the integration of economic analysis into legal services and legal thinking. The project aims to:

  • Promote economic literacy among legal professionals (lawyers, judges, in-house counsel, regulators)
  • Equip participants with practical economic tools to support legal advice, litigation, and regulatory decision-making
  • Foster a deeper understanding of market functioning, economic reasoning, and policy assessment
  • Contribute to more effective and evidence-based legal practice in areas such as competition law, state aid, regulation, corporate law, and consumer protection.

Trojan Economics is proud to be a partner and supporter of the LAPET Project.
